Are you a member of ShopYourWay? If not, you really should consider joining. It's the free reward program offered by Sears. JustRequest an Invite to ShopYourWay and you'll get an email to sign-up and start earning cash. Just make sure you use your membership when you shop at Kmart and Sears.

Each time you shop, you'll earn points. Each dollar will earn you one point and one hundred points can be redeemed for a dollar. It’s not the world’s greatest reward percentage but combine it with other reward programs, such as your travel credit card, and it will add to your overall savings.

I recently made a large (for me) purchase at Sears and I’m glad I had a ShopYourWay membership. Now that I own my home and don't rent, I can't just call the landlord when something breaks. So when I needed a new garbage disposal, I compared prices. Sears had a great disposal for the same price as the hardware store but thanks to ShopYourWay, it was an even better deal. It also had the better warranty, seven years vs the competitor’s five years.

So you might have joined ShopYourWay ages ago but the program has now changed to include a more social aspect. It’s really cool now because you can make recommendations and receive recommendations from personal shoppers, also known as your friends. The best part is that if your friends aren’t already members, you can recruit them and earn points for their purchases too.

Here’s how the ShopYourWay Personal Shopper program makes your friends lives easier, and your wallet fatter:
• Invite friends easily through Facebook, Yahoo mail or Gmail • Help them shop for items they need and love at great prices • No affiliate link necessary, your clients can buy online or in-store, using their ShopYourWay Rewards card so they can earn points and get members-only offers. • You earn commission when friends in your network make qualifying purchases at stores including: Sears, Kmart, and Lands End.

I really like that I can create a catalog for your friends to view. I created a catalog to show you all how easy it is. It's just a few of the items I've reviewed on Making Cents of It. You can also create a catalog of wish list items so your friends know what you want next time you're having a birthday or it's a holiday.
